Remove Glue from Helmet

Want to take the mount for my Carlo Scala headset off my helmet, it is currently glued on, will it be best to just rip it off or is there a better way as do not want to damage the helmet.

 

What did you glue it on with? If it's one of those sticky foam pads, then you could try warming it up with a hairdryer to soften the glue a bit before pulling it off.

 

Was the proper glue that came pre-applied on the mount...if it eats shoes I am not sure I want to use it on my lid!

 

If you carefully prise the headset off, it should be fine. Failing that, as Ducky says, try warming it. I've always found that a little lighter fluid on a cloth is a good way of removing glue residue (or if you prefer (believe it or not), use Duraglit polishing wads).

 

White spirit is also quite good for removing glues, I would warm it up as well it will help soften it up to pull it off

 

Or the Tom Way, cover it up with gaffer tape

 

Or my way - buy a new lid.

 

Ditto, removes glue well easily!!
